Sakura did not know what she was doing when she arrived at the stone county brothel-- she was sent on a speciel mission by the hokage to say by herself because she was strong enough on her own. Naruto was off training now, hoping to succeed in his effort to get rid of kyuubi and sasuke had retuned to the leaf village after a long and tiring fight against orochimaru. she and Naruto had helped him remember who he was and how life was more important than persuing his brother for the rest of his life.

He had said he would stay in konoha so long as they promised not to leave him. she knew she couldn't, because it was like old times again. he and naruto had become jounin together by seventeen, and although sasuke did not want to become hokage like naruto-- they were still very good rivals. she had just completed her jonin exam a few weeks ago and was still working to help tsunede with her business. the woman refused to let herself age and sakura always wondered how she managed to look so young. 'one day I gotta get that secret from her!' she thought, reminding herself where she was dressed in a long silk gown in pink with yellow-gold sakura petal patterns over the front, it had a long cut up the side of her outer thigh that she really really didn't like because it showed the fishnet stockings naruto had told her to wear beneath it.the sleeves were very long and drapedover her sides, but she had wire workedi n to the hem if she needed it for ninja duty. the neckline was cut low and showed a decent amount of her pert, round breasts-- because she was in a brothel and she needed to look the part of a courtisan.

her long pink hair was pulled up in to a ponty tail at the back, with a red and yellow scrunchie. she had clips on the side ot keep her bangs back, although some of the hair sliped free and she had to tuck it behind her ear nervously. the long tail swayed as she walked, and she picked up a tray of tea to deliver to the table she was working.her job was to find the man from the stone village who had stolen the secret scrooll from sand a few weeks ago during the festival. she had gone to it alone only to hear the ruckus and see the blue-haired ninja girl run away with it just as the fireworks had gome off. apparently there was a large group working against konoha and sand together, and it was her job to find the informants here who regulared the place to see just what if anything was going on.

"tips are five dollars" she said boardly, blowing at the bangs in front of her face as she leaned in past the curtain to set down the tray. she was shocked to see the black and red cloak and her jade eyes widened only a little bit. 'oh my god it is itachi uchiha' she thought, 'oh my god what do I do?' the uchiha did not seem to care about her at first, red eyes flickered to her. "I wanted dango." he said, and kisame who was sitting next to him seemed upset because his joke was not heard by itachi.

"I will get some for you sir" said sakura.

"you look familiar" he ssaid, squinting at her for a second.

"must be your imagination" she said before quickly pulling away, looking startled. 'oh my god, this wasnt supposed to happen!'
